    Watching the Count of Monte Cristo, a movie about a man punished more than anyone else ever has been for the crime of being nice, much like my life

    Rest in peace, Richard Chamberlain, my long-ago crush as Edmond Dantès in the TV movie of The Count of Monte Cristo. Utterly villainous in The Towering Inferno and Petulia, and excellent in The Last Wave.

    At the movies, a couple are approaching the snack bar. One says to the other, "Do you think this is going to be a popcorn movie or an M&M movie?" They both turn and glance at The Count of Monte Cristo poster. "Yeah. It's an M&M movie." (2)

    Like I will go to bat for the 2002 movie even if I don't think Edmond/Mercedes ought to ever really happen because THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is very much not a perfect book, which of course is hardly to say that ANIMAL FARM is, but getting an adaptation of it "wrong" is far less big a deal

    What is the best Robin Hood movie of all time?. Robin Hood. Steal from the rich to give to the poor. Maid Marian. The Sheriff of Nottingham, and/or Prince John as villains. Friar Tuck and Little John as allies. It's an old story with at least a dozen adaptations. But which one is your favourite? Do you think one of them stands head and shoulders as the best? And was it your first adventure through Sherwood Forest? My first Robin Hood was *probably* the Disney one, but I never thought of it as…

    My favourite film. Was like a nodding dog listening to this. Looking back I’m sure it’s why I’ve always been drawn to stories of revenge (“wild justice”), from The Count of Monte Cristo to all those Early Modern tragedies I studied, to Theatre of Blood and — well, what I’m compelled to write now.

    We thought, let’s rewatch the recent French version of ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’; it’s great stuff & quite a ride; culminating sword fight is brutal rather than ‘let’s spin this out’ Scaramouche-style (you know, the one with Stewart Granger that goes on for ages). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cou...

    One thing missing from especially #tolkien adaptation conversations is the fact that bad adaptation ≠ equal bad movie. My favorite example of this is The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). The chief message of the novel is that revenge is bad, but the movie is a perfect revenge fantasy popcorn movie.
